Founded in 1948, the Boca Grande Woman’s Club began sponsoring scholarships in the early 1970s. Since that time, over 200 students have participated in the program, many of them the first in their families to attend college.
The program has grown dramatically in recent years. Thirty-two scholars are receiving financial support from the Boca Grande Woman’s Club for the Fall 2021 semester.
